Sunil, Pretty tall order! Which month are you travelling? My first comment is to make the trip Chennai-Prague-Berlin-Amsterdam-Chennai to avoid back tracking, but perhaps business or special event dictates your itinerary? Everybody raves about Emirates service, but I see you will have a long connection time in Dubai. Lufthansa should be good as well. If you were interested in saving money, you could go Air India. Great prices, I know nothing of the comfort. All countries you are visiting are in the Schengen zone, so you should contact German consulate in Chennai about visa. Prague sights? Old City in general, Charles Bridge, Castle/Cathedral across the river.
Not much help, but its a start.

Sunil, You have posted this same question in two parts of the Helpline. Duplicate posting rarely assists the poster and confuses those helping. You might do well to remove the other post.

Sunil,
In one full day and two half days you won't be able to see Prague, just a little bit of it. Besides you won't even have that long. Don't count the day you come at all. Getting from the airport, getting accommodated, eat, jet lag and day is over. I would say for Prague to enjoy it at least 3 full days, for Amsterdam 2, for Berlin 5. Where to stay in Prague. IMHO the best would be to stay in the Old Town, second best Mala Strana, then Nove Mesto (New Town), then Vinohrady. There are many hundreds hotels in Prague. I would suggest to google Prague hotels and go for location Praha 1 (Prague 1), Vinohrady is Praha 2. You can look at price of hotel, pictures of hotel and room, and location on the map. If you stay in Praha 1 you can walk practically to all important sights in Prague. Otherwise you will use public transport which is very good. And I would also recommend if you want to get the most from your visit, get a guide.
